Can You Enhance Your Business With The Power Of Free Social Media?

By Howe Russell


If you are partaking in an affiliate program or home based business opportunity, such as Empower Network, then you would be foolish to overlook the power of social media. Today we'll look at the benefits to a powerful social media campaign for those involved in the online business world.

Thanks to the recent boom in the popularity of websites like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube it has become increasingly easier for internet marketers to find potential clients for their home based business opportunities. Why?

You don't have to look too far in depth to find the answer to this question. These websites are by far the most trafficked websites in the world, making them the primary location of all of your potential clients. Why spend money and time on trying to figure out ways to get to your client base, when you could simply find them in one place?

Facebook is a good example of this. For instance, you could start your own affiliate marketing blog and post weekly tips on how to get started on the rocky road to becoming your own boss. You could then begin the task of building backlinks and posting fresh content to your blog in order to establish more traffic. However, this process takes time. Facebook is the internet's most visited website. Think about that for a second - more people visit that one website than any other in the entire world. So why would you not use that power to your advantage? It would be foolish to ignore it, surely. You could start by simply posting a link to your blog content on your Facebook page and noticing that you can generate traffic for free simply due to the fact that each time somebody likes your content, Facebook automatically updates all of that person's friends about it via their news feed. Congratulations, you have just reached an audience of hundreds of potential clients simply because you provided a useful tip and shared it with the world. That's the power of Facebook, but it's really only the beginning.

Thanks to the mechanics behind Facebook, each time you post useful content and your followers click on the like button you will reach a whole new audience. That's because the friends of your follower will then see your content on their news feed.

In order to get others to follow you, however, you need to provide them with something they actually want to know. If you are merely hyping up every new business opportunity or making endless sales pitches, you will not get good feedback regardless of your niche.

Those who enjoy success within their chosen affiliate program or home business opportunity are able to take hold of the power within social media and use it to their own advantage. Services such as Youtube not only provide you with a cost-free way of getting video content onto your blog, they also provide you with a huge potential audience of viewers who will find you simply by looking on Youtube itself for content within your niche. This is why it is highly important to take some time in order to learn how to correctly keyword and tag your videos. [

While a mean social media campaign won't necessarily guarantee your success in an affiliate business like Empower Network or Avon, it will greatly improve your chances. Furthermore, you can achieve a great level of recognition for your brand using only free methods such as the ones discussed in today's post. Before you begin spending any money on advertising your new business, you should first look to make the most of the free resources at your disposal because they are in fact the most powerful tools available.
